Agenda item

The application was for the removal of existing canopies. (Additional plan rec'd 25/04/2019.) (Amended plan rec'd 26/04/2019.)

This application would have normally been determined under the Council's Scheme of Delegation. However, it was reported to the Planning Applications Committee as the applicant was the Council.

Members were advised of the following updates:

“UPDATE

Section 8 should read as ‘working in a positive/proactive manner’.”

The Committee showed concern as to the loss of lighting provision, which was currently provided by the canopy, and the potential resulting effects on public health and safety. In addition it was noted the canopy provided shelter and as a result made the area more accessible year-round.
